Little Sister

Description

No one knows you better than a sister—your dreams, your fears, your mistakes, and all your secrets.

It was just that way when Jess and her older sister, Emily, were children. Born barely a year apart, they were deeply entwined, complementing each other in their differences. When Jess felt awkward and shy, Emily, the consummate big sister, was happy to take the lead.

After a long estrangement, they’ve become close again. Jess moves into the comfortable Isle of Wight home Emily shares with her husband, step-daughter, and toddler. Any misgivings about the past are swept away and forgotten.

And then, on New Year’s Eve, little Daisy disappears while in Jess’s care.

Jess is in shock, unable to remember what happened. Emily, traumatized, watches helplessly as her life unravels. But as the search intensifies and the police detective’s questions grow more pointed, a different picture emerges. Behind the image of a seemingly happy family—Daisy’s doting teenage sister, Chloe, loving father and husband, James, and siblings Emily and Jess—there are devastating deceptions and long-ago choices that can never be unmade. And underlying everything is the story of what really happened to drive Emily and Jess apart years ago.

I was really looking forward to this book. The cover and the description are both what drew me to this book. Sadly, it became quite apparent fast that I would not enjoying this book. Try as I might I could not find any connection with any of the characters or the storyline. The alternating chapters with the sister's voices didn't help either. This helps sometimes because it came bring me closer to the characters and in fact, I like this format for these types of books. Again, there was nothing interesting about either sister. However, this book was not for a lack of effort as I did get half way before I could not continue any further.
